About this episode

Jackie Burke wasn’t interested in being an entrepreneur. As an engineer, she was very risk-averse. But when her own skin allergy had her searching for a hypoallergenic earring and coming up empty, she felt called to solve a problem - and in the process, started a business, Tini Lux, that has since become a solution for folks with sensitive ears everywhere.

  • What it’s like to be a risk-averse entrepreneur (3:00) 
  • How to create an idea from a problem (4:45) 
  • How Emily balanced a day job and side hustle (6:00) 
  • The challenges of being a first-time founder (8:00) 
  • The importance of “radical transparency” (9:00)
